Prepare an ice bath with water and ice.

Bring a pan of salted water to a boil.

Drop a small batch of gnocchi into the boiling water.

Stir gently to prevent gnocchi from sticking to the bottom.

Cook gnocchi for about 3 and 1/2 minutes until they float.

Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to remove gnocchi from the boiling water.

Transfer gnocchi to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Let gnocchi cool in the ice bath and then dry them off.

In a frying pan, add bacon and cook until it starts to get color.

Add onions to the pan with the bacon and cook until they soften.

Add the gnocchi to the pan and toss to coat with the bacon grease.

Season with fresh ground black pepper and a tiny bit of salt.

Add tomatoes to the pan and heat through, then turn off the heat.

Plate the gnocchi and top with the bacon, onion, and tomato mixture.

Finish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.
